Initial analysis

The 9-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1031-1039 Scott Street in the Western Addition neighborhood, owned by Daniel J & Gilda M Sullivan, was constructed in 1908 and has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, between 2017-2019, the building completed a substantial modernization project including the addition of fire sprinklers throughout the first floor, installation of radiant heat systems, and electrical upgrades including a 400-amp service upgrade. Subsequent to these improvements, in 2022-2024, the building underwent various maintenance and repair works, including dryrot repairs beneath the front stair in 2024, window replacements, unit renovations, and plumbing updates. The building has also been brought into compliance with current safety standards, achieving completion of its Soft-Story retrofit as a Tier 3 building, and receiving a Certificate of Final Completion.

Historical records indicate several maintenance issues that have been addressed over time, including past violations related to fire safety, smoke detectors, and general building maintenance in 2002-2009, all of which were resolved. The building's most recent inspection history shows only routine maintenance and repair work being performed. A current concern noted as of March 2023 involves possible lead paint safety violations, while there have been recent complaints about garbage and debris in 2024. The property has generally maintained compliance with housing codes since addressing the earlier violations, with most recent work focusing on routine repairs and building maintenance rather than any major structural changes. The building's management has demonstrated ongoing commitment to maintaining the property, as evidenced by the completion of various building systems upgrades and prompt attention to repair needs.

Risk rating

How 1031-1039 Scott St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
29th percentile

Out of 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 119 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 48.0%
Moderate concern 30.6%
Severe concern 21.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
